Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

Alright Folks the moment of TRUTH.....Spartacus: War of the Damned premiers this Friday on Starz @ 9pm ESTÖ.I guess when my Lucy Lawless threw herself off that Cliff with Spartacusís baby boy that was the end of that... The main reason I tuned in was to see my Lu-Lu (of course the Dick and Ass shots are always a plus)Ö..I still wonder if Spartacusís son survived that fall? The writers had to write that into the storyline for a reason.

The final season of Spartacus: War of the Damned is upon us starting this Friday, January 25th on Starz. Last season we left off with Spartacus and his merry band of rebels facing the full might of the Roman army, which are as feisty as ever. I was lucky enough to sit down with the ruggedly handsome, chipper, and all around good guy to have in your corner if you happen to come across an army, Liam McIntyre. He shared some insight on the upcoming season.
The Flickcast: What has happened in the time between the ending of Vengeance and the start of this season, War of the Damned with Spartacusí team?
Liam McIntyre: A lot, theyíve been fighting legions of Romans, so youíll find everyone in a slightly different place. Spartacus is very much in commander mode, he doesnít take shit from anybody, pardon.

From last year searching for a way into that leadership role and who he really is in terms of this war that theyíve gone on, heís now very much that guy. Itís fun to play and difficult because you canít just play a commander, because heís boring. It is all [about] the relationships with all of the generals. Each one has a different dynamic with the other and keeps kind of a shifting sands kind of feeling.
When we open this season weíre doing well, things are going quite well and thatís not something that always happens. But, from there, if you read Wikipedia, things donít always pan out the way like Iíd imagine youíd want them to, certainly not from my characterís point of view, but itís the way those things happened.
TF: Can you tell us about any exciting scenes youíve filmed with Manu Bennett (Crixus) so far?
LM: Manu and I filmed some really, really energetic scenes just before we got on the plane [for this interview], some of the most dramatically tiring things Iíve done on the whole show. I wonít spoil the story because in reading it as an actor, Iíve loved just reading those stories and going ďOh, you didnít!Ē I feel like such a fanboy reading these scripts sometimes, just the way they twist relationships.
Crixus has got a fantastic storyline. The two different people that Crixus and Spartacus are was sort of hinted on in the first season when theyíre in the training square and they have that chat just before it all kicks off of how they could never be friends. That sort of really plays out under the stress and pressure of a war. Thatís a great thing to play as an actor.
TF: Will Spartacus have a love interest in the new season?
LM: Itís still Spartacus, so I donít rule anything out. But, for Spartacus, itís almost that very manly thing of trying to shut love out because you canít afford to let that in because of the history- everyone that touches him turns dead.Heís now got a bigger cause so he canít distract himself with love anymore. He has to be cruel to be kind so that he can win a war. Thatís the job he has, but thatís difficult in itself. Trying to be the guy that doesnít feel is hard because by nature heís a good human being and thatís why heís on this journey at all. Thatís one of the things I love playing with is how a man tries to shut himself down and finds that he canít.
TF: How have you trained for the upcoming season?
LM: Well one of the fun things I did between seasons is I went and found this friend of mine that does circus. I reckon thereíd be some cool moves I could do like flips and somersaults and crazy- awesome moves that Spartacus doesnít do. I donít think youíll ever find him climb a roof and somersault off it and slice a guy in half. But, if he does, youíll know why.
Al Poppleton, the stunt coordinator, decided to mix it up a little bit and got on this whole military kick and just put us through all these marine style drills. Weíre running through parks with ďammo casesĒ and twenty kilo bags and weíre putting people on our shoulders and running back and commando crawling through things. Weíre trying to throw oranges into a box because itís a ďgrenadeĒ and if you hit the box you get five seconds off your time. He just finds a way to make things painful.
TF: Are you competitive with the other rebels in training?
LM: Yeah, thatís the best part because itís all timed and damned if I let Manu [Bennett] beat me on a time. Itís very friendly at the start then itís like ďGO! Letís do this!Ē It really is the best way to get a cast together. If you fight and struggle together and you really try to get each other through things, itís kind of like the story itself. Itís a story weíre kind of about to live anyway, where itís against impossible odds you got to try and find a way to get each other through things. Itís a good way to get people on the same page.
TF: Spartacus the series is known for its use of slick, bloody visuals and hyper-stylized shots. Have you had a chance to look at the visual effects shots this season?
LM: Weíve got new technology weíre using to film things with, which I havenít seen on a TV show before. I was extremely impressed by it, donít know how they did the R&D for it, but it should make some deaths unbelievably cool.
TF: How does it feel this season vs. last season?
LM: Itís different, so many things have changed. Weíre kind of ending this amazing history with this crazy legacy of so many ups and downs through the show and so many cool things. Itís also a little more comfortable because I know what to expect and I know what the situation is and I know how it works. So, itís a little bit more comfortable in some ways but still, no less epic.
Epic? Truer words were never spoken. As War of the Damned is the title of the final season, itís a good bet it will be all kinds of epic. Tune in Friday, January 25th on Starz to watch Spartacus take on a legion of angry honey badgers, err I mean Romans and enjoy.http://theflickcast.com/2013/01/22/i...of-the-damned/

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

Good season opener..Spartacus is more Intense. He barely broke a smile thru the entire episode...That horse-meat and guts scene was so nasty.....The Gay Warrior couple are a couple of Hotties...The Ass shot of his Cheeks rocking from side to side was nice...

Crixus's lady is CRAZY as all get out. How does he sleep with that Crazy chick in his bed?

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

So I gather two things about Tiberious:

One, he is a ghey, made clear when his friend he was walking in the hallway with said something that made him reply "I'd always have you by my side" or whatever he said then gave that look when he walked away.

Two, his real mother is that slave who cleaned his face. I am looking forward to seeing more of this family dynamic.

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

"The Ass shot of his Cheeks rocking from side to side was nice.."

Yes it was MisterMajestic..that ass looked really nice. They should show more of those two.

DigitalFudge, I also got that impression too when those two were talking in the hallway, then the way they looked at one another and how he touched him. Hopefully with this being the last season there will be lots of male nudity and man on man...

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

Tiberius, Christain Antidormi, is a great addition to the cast for this final season. He is truly adorable. If he turns out to be gay it would be a great ending to this series. We can only hope, but either way, he sure is fun to look upon.

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

They found a Good Julius Caesar..he made trouble during his first 5-seconds on camera...LOL...He's Cute but the Blonde hair looks too Wigery or too Blonde....

Will somebody PLEASE tell me what was the Sex Slave doing to Caesar when she got on her knees? Did she cut his Thigh and start Sucking his blood? That was the strangest sex-act they've ever shown...

I can't wait for Caesar and the Boy-King to re-create CLASH of the Titans. They're either gonna Fuck or try to kill each other...The Boy-King wants Caesar because he knows Caesar is as Crazy as they come...

Spartacus is now allowing innocent Children to be killed by his Army of Raging Animals......And we know that means his Death is soon to come....He's out of control and his vendetta against The Romans is too great to bear....

I hope this weeks episode is filled with Orgy scenes..We've NEVER had to wait this long to see Tits, Dick & Ass slanging all over the place...

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

The cracks are starting to show in Spartacus' camp. It began last week, with Spartacus witnessing the hunger among his followers--and continued this week with Spartacus being barely able to restrain his forces. In all honesty, I'm loving the Romans this time around. Crassus isn't like Glaber, looking at Spartacus as an animal to be beaten--but as a rival to be bested.

And Caesar!!! I lost my train of thought every time he was on screen. Lord, the man is fine. And to answer MM's question, the slave was shaving Caesar while giving him a blowjob. He just didn't care about the cut enough to make her stop. I just want to see him make Tiberius his bitch. If that happens, I can die a happy man.

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

I like the way The Boy-king Tiberious stood his ground against Caesar but his Daddy is gonna Flip when Caesar tells him what happened..

Spartacus and his Men would have been beaten to a pulp had the Pirates not planned a secret attack...

Crixus's CRAZY girlfriend Naevia is steady getting out of hand just chopping people up every week..LOL...I want somebody to take her out....I was rooting for the Blacksmith to put an END to her Madness...He was innocent and she couldnt see past her own Delusions.

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

I'm not liking how the show went lastnight. They are falling apart. Which I guess I really expected them too. However they did show the young guys sweet little ass and his dad showed his dick...looked uncut to me. Anyone get any pics of them to post here? I was hoping to see the younger(son) roman having a hot sex scene with his friend but since they beat him to death that won't be happening.

I know. When they were staring into each others eyes I thought, here it comes, they are going to kiss, but alas, just a hug. Then Tiberious helps beat him to death. Bummer!

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

The show is clearly trying to convince the audience that the rebels are now the villains. The whole "decimation" act didn't help the Roman's PR but with all that happened last episode the writers are gearing us up for the end.

They didn't have to do that, they could of kept the Rebels with higher morals and left us blown when they meet their end.

Re: Spartacus: War of the Damned (The Final EPIC Season, it's gonna be good)

I finally caught up on the last 3 episodes this weeked...Wow, just Wow...When I watched this Slave/Gladiator Saga 5yrs ago I had no idea it would be this good...The writers were so good you never knew who'd Live in the End.

I'm not upset that Sexy Dad Marcus & Future King Hottie Caesar lived. They werent bad Guys on the level of rapist Tiberious. If STARZ is smart they will do an Epic spin-off with Marcus & Ceasar...Great Actors..
